For This Child I Prayed

I cannot believe this little girl has been home only eight months. This child of my heart whom I prayed for for years, is home, and my heart is so grateful. I prayed for this child like none other. Not that I didn't or don't pray for my four other precious daughters, I do, just as much. But during the time of waiting to adopt again after Maylie came home brought me to my knees and led me to fasting like I never have before. I can relate to Hannah so very much.

"For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him."
1 Samuel 1:27

Lily was dedicated to the Lord at our church back in October. Yes I'm a bit behind, but that's normal when it comes to my blogging....

 Lily was loving the attention.

 Not loving the smell of the oil used for anointing. I don't know why, it spelled kind of Christmasy.

Pastor Terry praying for Lily, and our friends Gretchen and Charles praying along.

I love that Lily is praying so seriously. What a sweet heart!

Lord Jesus, thank you for answering my prayers and bringing our Lily Hope home to us.
